Welcome back to Term 3, everyone!

Monday 17/07/2023 is a Staff Development day, but after polling the students and coaches, we agreed to run Squad Training (3:30pm to 5pm) as we have important competitions coming up.
Furthermore, all Squad Fencers and parents have been sent an email regarding Australian Senior Schools Fencing Championships. Please make sure you’ve read that information and contact me if there are any issues or questions.

More information regarding Senior Nationals will be shared soon after Monday’s training concludes to determine team compositions.
